Canberra Race 4 - Tab Federal Hcp
A good contest. TAKE THE RAP (5) raced a short-priced favourite and made it four wins from eight starts when easily beating the 74 graders at Nowra. He raced in Stakes grade at Randwick following and had no luck at the start and lost a shoe during running. 3x winning rider Cahill is reunited, and the promising galloper is well-placed to bounce. STARLIGHT GIRL (4) was on-pace beaten 1.6L here, this grade/trip, behind FANGELA. Meets that horse better at the weights and maps for a soft on-pace run. FANGELA (1) won well enough but lugs more weight today. He flies this track/trip and presenting fitter again is a chance regardless. LOVE SHUCK (2) resumes and has won 2/3 fresh. The in-form Loy is engaged, which is a decent push for chances.

Useful mare. Returns from a 31-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Nowra Bm74 on February 23 over 1000m, 3 len behind Take The Rap with 58kg at $7. Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Sapphire Coast Begasprint on February 2 over 1200m, 5 len behind Ticklebelly with 55kg at $26. Not the worst.
